A fiesta...for your taste buds.

Provided by Lindsay V

Time 35m

Number Of Ingredients 16

1 c arborio rice
1/2 c chopped onion
2 Tbsp butter
3 c chicken broth
1 can(s) (15 oz.) black beans, rinsed and drained
1 c mexican blend cheese (colby jack or pepper jack would work too)
1 c frozen corn
1 bell pepper, chopped and deseeded (any color will do)
1/3 c cilantro, chopped
2 Tbsp canola oil
1 1/2 Tbsp cumin
2 tsp chili powder
1/2 tsp minced garlic
juice of 1 lime
salt & pepper
cooking spray

Steps:

  • 1. Coat a small saucepan with cooking spray and sauté peppers. After about 5 minutes, add the corn and season with salt and pepper. I like to cook the peppers until they're slightly charred to resemble veggies you'd receive with fajitas.
  • 2. Meanwhile, in a medium sauce pot, cook onion on medium heat with the butter. When the onion becomes fragrant, add the Arborio rice. Stir for 2 minutes. Add in 1 cup of chicken broth. Allow the rice to completely absorb the chicken broth before adding the next cup. Follow this same rule before adding the third and final cup of broth. The final result should be very creamy.
  • 3. As your rice is cooking, mix together the canola oil, cumin, chili powder, garlic and lime juice in a small bowl. Set aside.
  • 4. Once rice is cooked, mix in beans, cheese, pepper, corn and cilantro in a large bowl.
  • 5. Add the dressing and stir until evenly distributed. Season with more salt and pepper if desired.
  • 6. Add the dressing and stir until evenly distributed. Season with more salt and pepper if desired.

I'm allergic to corn, so I used a different type of rice. The dish still turned out great!

The Mexican Fiesta Risotto is a great way to use up leftover rice. I always have rice left over after making a big batch of tacos, and this is a delicious way to use it up.
